Japanese Cuisine, Nyack NY
(845) 358-3222

Murasaki Japanese Cuisine of Nyack, NY offers a full bar & daily specials. Chef Masao “Umi” Umezaki from Japan spent his early years in the United States and became a renowned sushi chef
in Nyack.

An admirer of 11th-century Japanese literature, Umi’s culinary odyssey could be a modern-day plotline of one of its heroes, and like most classic tales, his adventure worked out in the end. Last fall, after eight years of searching for a space, he opened his new restaurant Murasaki, which he named for the ancient author. The word murasaki means purple wisteria blossom in the Japanese language, and its slang for soy sauce.
